clippy::manual_div_ceil: Checks for an expression like (x + (y - 1)) / y which is a common manual reimplementation of x.div_ceil(y)

What it meansChecks for an expression like (x + (y - 1)) / y which is a common manual reimplementation of x.div_ceil(y). It is in the complexity group and warns by default.

Does it matter?

It’s simpler, clearer and more readable.

Code that does something simple in a complicated way. Warns by default.

How to fix it

Clippy can fix this one for you: run cargo clippy --fix (add --allow-dirty if you have uncommitted changes). Review the diff before you commit.

Flagged

let x: i32 = 7;
let y: i32 = 4;
let div = (x + (y - 1)) / y;

Write this instead

#![feature(int_roundings)]
let x: i32 = 7;
let y: i32 = 4;
let div = x.div_ceil(y);

Turn it off, or on

Allow it where it does not fit your code, as narrowly as you can:

On one item

#[allow(clippy::manual_div_ceil)]
fn my_function() { /* ... */ }

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
manual_div_ceil = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::manual-div-ceil

The [lints] table needs Rust 1.74 or newer. In a workspace, put it under [workspace.lints.clippy] and add [lints] workspace = true to each member.

Settings in clippy.toml

  • msrv: The minimum rust version that the project supports. Defaults to the rust-version field in Cargo.toml

What it does

Checks for an expression like (x + (y - 1)) / y which is a common manual reimplementation of x.div_ceil(y).

Why is this bad?

It’s simpler, clearer and more readable.

Example

let x: i32 = 7;
let y: i32 = 4;
let div = (x + (y - 1)) / y;

Use instead:

#![feature(int_roundings)]
let x: i32 = 7;
let y: i32 = 4;
let div = x.div_ceil(y);

Configuration

  • msrv: The minimum rust version that the project supports. Defaults to the rust-version field in Cargo.toml

    (default: current version)

From the Clippy lint list (0.1.99), part of the Rust project, MIT or Apache-2.0. Official entry.
